2024 POLLS: Special Voting To Be Held On December 2 – EC
The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that special voting for the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections will be held on Monday, December 2.
This announcement was made by the Commission’s chairperson, Jean Adukwei Mensa.
Mrs Mensa made this known during a meeting with the national executives of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), and representatives of the security forces in Accra on Tuesday, May 28.
“The special voting will be held on Monday 2nd December 2024 in all the 275 constituencies in the country,” she stated.
The special voting arrangement is intended to accommodate voters who will be performing election-related duties on the main polling day.
It includes personnel from the Ghana Armed Forces, National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), National Security, Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana National Fire Service, and Information Services Department.
Additionally, it includes members of the National Ambulance Service, Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority, Prisons Service, Ghana Journalists Association, Ghana Police Service, and the National Media Commission.
This early voting ensures that these individuals can exercise their right to vote without conflicting with their professional responsibilities during the elections.
However, the results of the special voting will not be declared until after the general elections.
